Mexican data for a NAFTA environmental health study:

"Dear fellow GISers,

"a while ago I posted a request for digital data
about Mexico. Though I already posted a summary,
there is some new information that may be worth sharing
with others.

"INEGI recently made available quite an amount
of digital data at 1:50.000 and 1:250.000 scales.
The data they provide cover

1. modelo digital de elevacion
2. ortofotos digitales
3. datos vectoriales
4. toponimos

"Data are distributed on CDROM.
For the northern state of Nuevo Leon,
they already have quite a number of sheets covered.
The data are, so I think, reasonably priced.
So far I had no chance to check these data,
because I got this information just yesterday.

"For those who need to have a look, it may be
worthwhile checking

http://www.inegi.gob.mx

"here is the guide through the inegi website.

"From the initial page, click <territorio>
in the upper (blue) menu bar. in the page that opens,
click <actividad geografica>. From that page,
select <topografia>. Finally click
<productos digitales disponibles>.

"please don't ask me what precisely they have
from which area, I have to look myself.

"If you think it=DDs well hidden,
you are probably right ... :-)

"Have a good time
Dirk "
